Personal history
At a young age, Vari knew she wanted to be a hunter and a warrior. When she was old enough, she joined others in training with weapons, and followed the proven hunters when she could, to learn their craft. Vari was 19 when she killed her first bear. Vari was 25 when she was heart-knotted to Tige
Life in Mottled Leaf was relatively peaceful until just before her 29th year. For reasons unknown, a plague of gnolls descended into the Steam Marshes and within months, the elders made the decision to evacuate the village to Starlight in the north mountains.
During the evacuation, a gnoll warband caught their trail. Vari, along with the other members of what would be later known as the The Mottled Six, volunteered to create a diversion and lead the gnolls away from the rest of the villagers. They were successful in that objective, and slayed many gnolls, but were ultimately captured. The gnolls intended to ritually sacrifice them to whatever dark gods they worshipped and had started the ceremony, with Tige being the first to be slain. Before the ritual could continue, a band of adventurers discovered the camp and killed the gnolls before freeing Vari and the remaining halflings.
